11 Select Next to set the Access Point's network mode.
12 The Typical Setup Wizard displays the Network Topology screen to define how the
Access Point manages network traffic.
13 Select an Access Point Mode from the available options.
• Router Mode - In Router Mode, the Access Point routes traffic between the local
network (LAN) and the Internet or external network (WAN). Router mode is
recommended in a deployment supported by just a single Access Point.
• Bridge Mode - In Bridge Mode, the Access Point depends on an external router for
LAN and WAN traffic. Routing is generally used on one device, whereas bridging is
typically used in a larger density network. Select Bridge Mode when deploying this
Access Point with numerous peer Access Points supporting clients on both the
2.4GHz and 5GHz radio bands.
Note
When Bridge Mode is selected, WAN configuration cannot be performed and the
Typical Setup Wizard does not display the WAN configuration screen.
14 Select Next. The Typical Setup Wizard displays the LAN Configuration screen to set the
Access Point's LAN interface configuration.
